1947 Panel Truck Frame swap with ’88 k2500

[Second Series]

I’ve got the lights working as they should. There was a 50/50 chance I wired up the rear lights correctly, I lost that bet. I had to remove the rear interior panels to swap the wires. Now the brake and signal lights are brighter than the running lights. While I had the interior panels out, I replaced one that was under cut. The spray adhesive that I used had failed so I re-did all the panels. I think I needed a longer setup time before applying the two surfaces, this time I waited two minutes after spraying the adhesive. I just re-used the panels and tolex, it was difficult to line up the two pieces, but it came out o.k. The first time around I had glued the cut panels to uncut tolex and then trimmed after for a perfect fit.
The light switch is wired to keyed power so the battery won’t drain if I forget to turn off the lights. I modified the profile of the steering wheel so it transitions to the ‘80’s column, and painted it and the horns with some single stage black paint. Steering wheel is mounted, and the horns are too. I have the original horn relay in place but just as a mounting lug for the two horn wires and the wire from the donor relay. Horn works with the button on the steering wheel. All the lights work as they should. The final light is the single rear light above the license plate. I mixed up 4oz of the Windsor Blue and painted the rear light housing. I’ve also removed the car tent and the panel truck is out in the open from now on.
